Hackers Target Russian Prison System in Navalny's Name

In a daring act of hacktivism, a group avenges Alexei Navalny's death by breaching Russia's prison database and leaking sensitive information.

A group of anti-Kremlin hackers, including Russian expatriates and Ukrainians, breached the Russian prison system's database to avenge the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The hackers stole a database containing information on 800,000 prisoners and their relatives, aiming to shed light on Navalny's death in an Arctic penal colony.
The breach included manipulating prices in the prison's online commissary, allowing items to be purchased for as little as $0.01.
The leaked data, verified by cybersecurity experts, appears authentic and includes contact details of prisoners and their relatives.
The hack is part of a larger trend of politically motivated cyberattacks following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with hacktivism emerging as a significant tool for political expression and activism.
